Our focus this week will be on using fractions and decimals in the manufacturing workplace. We will learn how to properly measure, convert units of measure, and solve mathematical problems that require knowledge of fractions and decimals. You will be required to submit independent work as well as complete a group project for the week.
Below is a brief summary of the week's career exploration, mathematical contextualization, and class assignments:
